Colony High School is a decent high school. It's not outstanding overall but there are definitely faculty that care about you.
4/4/2024
So far I've tried to be as involved as possible by participating in 3 varsity sports; football wrestling, and track. I've also be elected as my class president as well as being in student government. Colony has been so great to me and I will always be apart of the community!!

It was good. The teachers will support you how they can, but you have to go looking for it. I enjoyed it while I was there.

We have been very pleased with our son's experience at Colony High School. It has provided him with a safe, solid learning environment and, being new to the mat-su valley, he made great friends quickly. The coaching staff for cross country, nordic skiing, and track are excellent!

I have a 9th grader and being a KNIGHT has been the best experience EVER for him. He looks forward to school with his peers and really enjoys all his classes. He's involved with hockey and enjoys the coaches and teammates as well. We couldn't be happier with our choice to be a KNIGHT
